LOS ANGELES<\/strong> \u2013 A woman charged with trying to murder Rihanna<\/a> and more than a dozen other felonies is set to appear in court to enter a plea Wednesday. <\/p>\n Prosecutors allege the singing superstar, her hip-hop star partner A$AP Rocky<\/a>, their three young children and many others were at their home in the Beverly Hills area when Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, of Orlando, Florida, opened fire on the property on March 8. <\/p>\n Ortiz is charged with 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an occupied vehicle or dwelling. <\/p>\n At her first appearance in Los Angeles Superior Court on March 11, Ortiz’s lawyer entered a plea of not guilty on her behalf, but then withdrew it in favor of postponing the arraignment.<\/p>\n Public records show Ortiz has been a licensed speech pathologist for more than a decade. Now jailed on $1.8 million bail, she could get life in prison if convicted on all charges. <\/p>\n The Public Defender’s Office said only that “we will work to ensure that our client receives the full protections guaranteed under the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n District Attorney Nathan Hochman said when Ortiz was charged that Rihanna and Rocky were together in an Airstream trailer at the time of the shooting, while her mother, their children and staffers were in the main house.<\/p>\n The three counts of firing at a dwelling were for Rihanna\u2019s house, her trailer, and a neighbor\u2019s house, prosecutors said. The 10 assault counts were for Rihanna and family, two staffers and two people in the neighboring house. <\/p>\n Hochman would not say where any of the bullets landed, discuss a motive or describe any connection between Ortiz and Rihanna, saying all were under investigation. <\/p>\n A nine-time Grammy Award winner, Rihanna has 14 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including \u201cWe Found Love,\u201d \u201cWork,\u201d \u201cUmbrella\u201d and \u201cDisturbia.\u201d She founded the makeup brand Fenty Beauty<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n She and A$AP Rocky<\/a> announced the birth of their third child<\/a>, a girl named Rocki Irish Mayers, in September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
